This year's conference delivered on its theme, "BREW for More," as more than 2,200 members of the BREW community gathered from around the world at the sold-out show to collaborate, network and form strategic relationships with leading operators, handset manufacturers, publishers, developers and technology providers in the mobile marketplace.
"The success of this year's conference highlights the impact the BREW solution is having on every player in the mobile industry. More and more operators, handset manufacturers, publishers and developers are leveraging new technologies and product offerings to differentiate themselves in this space," said Peggy Johnson, president of QUALCOMM Internet Services. "From the impressive line-up of speakers and presentations to the overwhelming number of applicants for the BREW 2005 Developer Awards, it's clear that the BREW community is harnessing the power of the BREW solution to propel the wireless industry forward."
Speaker Highlights
The BREW 2005 Conference featured nearly 100 speakers, who focused on the global BREW community's advancements and opportunities in the areas of mobile gaming, customizable user interfaces, location-based services, multimedia, mobile messaging, business applications and a host of other segments. In Johnson's welcome remarks to conference attendees, she emphasized QUALCOMM's commitment to delivering more value, innovation, support, flexibility and revenue to the BREW community and the explosive growth of new areas such as mobile gaming and customization through QUALCOMM's uiOne(TM) solution.
This year's keynote addresses included "BREW for More. BREW for You" by Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, CEO-elect for QUALCOMM. In his keynote address, Dr. Jacobs discussed the ubiquity of feature-rich devices and tasked publishers and developers with the creation and delivery of BREW content that will drive the industry forward.
"Mobile phones are turning out to be the all-in-one devices people carry with them all the time in large part because of the creative applications and services being delivered by BREW publishers and developers," said Dr. Jacobs. "The future holds an amazing amount of promise for us all. QUALCOMM promises you, the BREW community, the resources you need to be successful, and we're counting on you to deliver the next great BREW applications."

"We love BREW. Its open platform allows Amp'd Mobile the flexibility to provide endless customization and personalization options that our customers want and need," said McGuire. "Through the BREW solution, we have the opportunity to realize our goal of becoming the first mobile entertainment company targeted for the youth market."
